on the fiscal cliff. because then it would be a different game, i presume. so what is your own chances of us not getting a deal done, how high or low do you raid that? >> i think it's relatively low, but we also have to bear in mind that january 1st is something of a false dead line. government agencies can still spend as if the budget cuts are not going to happen until say later in the year. so i believe that eventually even though there is a chance that you can't disregard the chance of no deal being made, i think within the early months of next year, there's a strong chance of a favorable resolution to the budget deficit. >> ben, thanks for that. the british chancellor george osbourne has defended the government's plan to turn the economy around and rein in spending. >> we have to get control on spending. that's why i'm operating benefits by less than the rate of inflation. that's why i've curbed the tax relief for the largest pensions. but we are making progress. the can deficit is down by 25%. foreca

henry kravis says the fiscal cliff is main reason investing isn't happening. he says many companies are rushing to close deals before the end of the year because they're concerned about whether capital gains tax will rise. he says the fiscal cliff shouldn't be a big issue and if businessmen go into the room they could solve the problem an awful lot faster than congress. ken cayman is president of macadian asset management. i presume you share the sentiments -- i think we probably all do share the sentiments of mr. kravis. what would you do? >> well, listen, i think when you look at how businessmen make decisions, they have to live with the outcome of the decisions. politicians unfortunately make one decision, move on, and make another one. they don't live and die by any one decision. so i actually agree. ic that if all they did was have to focus on this one issue, we'd get a better result. but that's not the way government works. they get briefed on economic stuff one minute and they run into a meeting and get briefed on the mating habits of a spotted owl or s

i think even the optimists think if we can get beyond the fiscal cliff it will be positive. but we have to get a long-term budget deficit deal done or we'll continue to be in the slow growth type of economy. >> it's clear everything wants the confidence going forward. when it comes to how they might react to any pressure in the near term, can you explain, you know, whether it's cutting back on capital spending or cutting back on hiring? how companies are taking these decisions into account. it's been one area of uncertainty lately. we've seen stronger payroll despite pullback in capital spending. is the outlook likely to be consistent with that? >> you know, again, i think we're sitting right on the precipice here. we've done this survey year in and year out for a number of years. we also do a cash indicator. i actually see some of this underlying optimism in this survey if congress and the administration can get their act together here. and i think that even in our survey, we looked at the first half of '13 being slow and then the second half picking up. so there is a lot o
